Can Senator Jeff Sessions Recuse Himself From Himself And Genetic History Of Hate.
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions was one of the first to throw his support behind Trump’s message of hate during his campaign.
For liberals and other lovers of humanity, the Confirmation Hearing of Sen. Jeff Sessions as Donald Trump’s first choice for Attorney General is proving to be a “Nightmare on Helm Street.”
Sessions enjoys the support of a slew of senior Republican Senators, including Ranking member Senator Chuck (Snake in the) Grassley.
Senators Richard Shelby (R) Alabama and Susan Collins (R) Maine began the hearings by attempting to whitewash the on the record hateful brand of Sessions.
Shelby and Sessions conspired to denounce and sully the name and character of current Attorney General Loretta Lynch… to bolster his case, Sessions testified that he would, in the future, recuse himself from Clinton investigation.
He also states that he understand the impact of systemic discrimination and that the claims of racism against him are false.
Both Shelby and Sessions accused Lynch of not recusing herself from the Clinton saga, after she met with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac. Sessions said he would have recused himself.
The question is: Can he recuse himself from Donald Trump?
Senator Diane Feinstein (D) California seems to give Sessions break with a weak line of questioning.
Senior Senate member Patrick Leahy (D) Vermont presented a more vigorous line of questioning. He jumped on Sessions on his vote against the Violence Against Women Act.
In the past, Sessions stated that he doesn’t believe: Women or people of different sexual orientation face that kind of discrimination, he continued to say, I just don’t see it.”
Sessions responded to Leahy’s questions by saying it doesn’t sound like something he intended to say or said. Leahy promptly reminded him that he did say it.
Sessions then stated that his words were taken out of context.
Throughout the hearings there were sporadic protesters that interrupted the testimonies. They quickly manhandled and removed by PD.
Senator Lindsey Graham apologized for Jeff Sessions bigotry and equating it with his own mild-mannered style of bigotry.
Senator Richard Durbin sternly reminded Sessions of his opposition to African-Americans being pardoned or released from prison for non-violent drug crimes.
Sessions statement: So-called low-level, non-violent offenders simply do not exist in the federal system.
These are the words of Jeff Sessions in response to President Obama’s pardoning of a Black American who served 22 years in prison for selling crack cocaine.
The Hearing continues.
